The notice that we received, with any personally identifyinginformation removed, will be posted online by a service called Chilling Effects, and we will send you the link of this notice. We do this in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement.Please see educause.edu/Browse/645?PARENT ... for more information about the DMCA, and seegoogle.com/blogger_dmca.html for the process that Blogger requires in order to make a DMCA complaint.

We are asking that you please remove the allegedly infringing content in your blog. If you do not do this within the next 3 days (by 4/29/07), we will be forced to remove the posts in question. If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits.

We can reinstate this content into your blog upon receipt of a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) ofthe DMCA. For more information about the requirements of a counter notification and a link to a sample counter notification, seegoogle.com/blogger_dmca.html#c ...

So, uhm, if they post the details on Chilling Effects, including the URL of your post, wouldn't that also contain that hex code? They'd have to send a DMCA notice to Chilling Effects, which would be published on Chilling Effects.

As I dont want silly lawsuits being issued against Google, i'll take the post down.

The deleted article had over 15 490 votes, so had been third most popular digg story of all time. Just after iPhone and the launch of Digg v. 3, and probably would be the second most dugg story just in couple of minutes. But it disapeard before that. Poster's account was also removed. Supposedly accounts of some people who posted stories about this removal was also removed.

who would have thought that a dmca notice against my blog and few others could have escalated into one of the biggest ever mass Digging's , and end up potentially discrediting Kevin Rose and Digg.com entirely (for the deletions and user bans)

You want to buy a HD-DVD?? buy while passing by Dooniz.com, an amount of money will go to charity organizations

Dooniz.com makes hundreds affiliations with major websites of Internet. These websites give Dooniz a commission to bring them customers. When Dooniz refers somebody to one of its affiliated sites, a sum of money is redistributed to a list of major foundations around the planet.

You should file a counter notice and claim that a number cannot be copyrighted, and therefore the DMCA takedown notice is invalid.

What the AACS could have done is send a cease and desist letter asking you to remove the key by claiming it is a "tool for circumventing a protection measure"

In other words, DMCA takedown notices are for copyright holders to quickly get copyrighted material removed from another site. As they don't own the copyright to a number, they can't use a DMCA takedown notice.

Now, they could sue you for distributing a tool for circumventing a protection measure, so you do what you like...
